They don’t have a meeting for a week so could have released press announcement at weekend or Monday, I would have a guess the replacement will be someone that was originally unavailable at the start of the season Good for Cook, I would have done the same. Cook has been mugged off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem at Edin ;) must be the Weegie smog. Even if Cookie had been in form, that KL team is pretty poor, amazed that Proctor even still rides in the UK.

It does seem rather bizarre that they would sign him knowing full well he would have only a couple of meetings.

Bagpuss Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think something probably happened or came to light last night, its disappointing that a British rider who could potentially have been the top man in this league has gone so soon. My concern is that a replacement who is any good is going to miss meetings. It’s been a shambolic start to the season with the team building badly exposed, I hope they can sort it quickly for the sake of getting people back through the door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have thought the replacement would be UK based at least or problems will occur with travel and riding elsewhere so missing meetings - Lawson Kennet and Autey seems the most sensible options to me go down any other route and whoever they get will miss meetings in my opinion.

None of the riders you suggest are number ones. Even with Cook the team was one heat leader short. How the hell Proctor keeps his place is a mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Could Sheffield sign Cook for Thursday away meetings? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Presume they must have someone lined up or otherwise you wouldn't get rid so quickly... If it is Doyle (and I can't think of anyone else), then will there need to be two changes.? Doyle did initially say that Sweden didn't offer enough meetings when compared to the UK so he signed for Swindon... Edit. NKI could also drop Sweden and ride here, but I wouldn't think he would improve KL that much from where they are now given his form over the past few years..

Pinny Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Iversen wont be the answer ... too many injuries over the last five years and is on the way down rapidly now , sadly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 they have someone and it wont be british based as they will only be making the team worse, diddnt cook get 3 wins in first match, so options will be Doyle ( most realistic) lives locally, means he can see his wife more, will drop sweden for Uk KK not getting rides in poland and got GP this year NKI - kings lynn rider at heart, easy to persuade Rasmus Jensen - rides lower league poland, so he can ride denmark and UK Toby Musliak - again rides lower league in poland and he likes the Uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 No team should be losing by that many points at home unless they had riders injured and the early part of the meeting and simply ran out of riders. But the Prem is a complete farce this season with only six teams, and retaining the play offs make it even more of a farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I take it that Cook is free to to join any P/lL team but where . to sign him that team would have to release a rider and Cooks average is pretty high' its a pity that we had to release Palm Toft (i presume) i really liked him, Buster will have a job to bring in a heat leader unless he has someone in mind. (it sounded like it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK is well out of form so would fit right in with the rest of the team and be grateful for the chance unlike the incredible sulk he replaces. Rasser would be a decent signing into any team.

topaz325 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Very poor from KL if Cookie was told before the meeting he was no longer required, cannot see Rasmus Jensen riding here he is to busy on the continent , not sure who it is going to be , good luck Cookie in finding another team place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
